    I like spiders, but I don’t think I’d keep one as a pet.

    Way back when Windows XP came out, back when you had to buy the new OS, there was a special bundle offer I saw with one of those newfangled digital cameras which had been way too expensive before, so I got it. I then spent weeks working on what would be an Instagram page or something these days, documenting the jumping spider who lived in my office. I called him Mr. Jibbles because he kept his home in the hole at the bottom of my JBL 4311 monitors (speakers in non-pro audio talk), until he sadly died one day. I have no idea what the hole was for, but they have this big hole at the bottom. Anyway, I had a lot of fun taking your picture, Mr. Jibbles. Sorry if I misgendered you. You may live on somewhere on the Internet Archive, but I don’t remember the URL.

        This would be the latter. Interesting explanation, thanks.

        Modern studio monitors don’t usually have those in my experience, but I got those years ago in a trade and they really capture a flat monitor sound in a way that modern monitors don’t. I’m sure in part because they’re massive. Anyway, they were perfect for my audio work at the time.
